Ramps

The younger students in Karen’s ramps science unit have discovered ramps all over the New School.  They tried climbing to a platform on the playground without a ramp and with a ramp and discovered that ramps make our work (and play) a lot easier!  Sharing places where we have seen ramps and inclined planes, helped us realize how often ramps are used in our community.  This week we experimented with designing ramps with different lengths and heights in the block area in preparation for our ramp experiments next week.
